Corbyn was back on drone duty at PMQs. He monotoned his way through six questions about NHS funding and gave the impression that a winter crisis would really make his Christmas. Ed Miliband had the same habit of suggesting that only mass-death could save him. Semi-comatose Corbs remained on ‘stand-by mode’ throughout. He didn’t react even when the Tories pounced on an unforced gaffe. As he offered his Christmas greetings to the nation, the Labour leader mentioned Britain’s very own space daredevil, Tim Peake, – ‘who is not on the planet.’
‘Nor are you,’ hooted the Tories.
Angus Robertson of the SNP asked David Cameron for ‘guarantees’ that Scotland won’t be ‘forced out of the EU by the rest of the United Kingdom’. Very bizarre. Amply proportioned Mr Robertson must be such a busy trencherman that he hasn’t found time to apply logic to the contents of his fluffy skull.
